I know you've been hurt by someone else I can tell by the way you carry yourself If you let me, here's what I'll do I'll take care of you I've loved and I've lost I've asked about you and they've told me things But my mind didn't change I still the feel the same What's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed I've had mine, you've had yours we both know We know, they don't get you like I will My only wish is I die real 'Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case Big girls all get a little taste Pushing me away so I give her space Dealing with a heart that I didn't break I'll be there for you, I will care for you I keep thanking you, just don't know Trying to run from that, say you're done with that On your face girl, it just don't show When you're ready, just say you're ready When all the baggage just ain't as heavy And the parties over, just don't forget me We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow You won't ever have to worry, You won't ever have to hide And you seen all my mistakes So look me in my eyes 'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do I'll take care of you I've loved and I've lost It's my birthday, I get high if I want to Can't deny that I want you, but I lie if have to 'Cause you don't say you love me To your friends when they ask you Even though we both know that you do (you do) One time, been in love one time You and all your girls in the club one time All so convinced that you're following your heart 'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know We know, You hate being alone, you ain't the only one You hate the fact that you bought the dream And they sold you one You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin' to save you Instead they say I know you've been hurt by someone else I can tell by the way you carry yourself If you let me, here's what I'll do I'll take care of you I've loved and I've lost
